Ultimately, what must change to improve the employment situation is peoples’ attitudes and beliefs in regards to people with a disability.

The Viscardi Center is once again offering an Arthritis Swim Program to the community. Two sessions will be offered this fall on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The cost for each six-week session is $96.00 per person.
